Tom's is just the voice of experience.  He's not scoffing at the
effort, just the delivery date.

But there *is* an open-source, full-featured synth development
platform if you want to start working out some of your ideas:
the Chameleon.  The hardware manufacturing is dead for a number
of reasons.  But they can be found and there's a Chameleon II
project organized by Paul Maddox.  (Would love to see this come to
light, especially with a replaceable audio path....)
